PHFE WIC’s Maria Valenzuela-Avena Awarded for Exceptional Leadership

On August 8, 2024, PHFE WIC’s Warehouse Operations Manager, Maria Valenzuela-Avena, was honored with the 2024 Outstanding Achievement Award by Heluna Health’s Board of Directors. Since 2021, the Heluna Health Board of Directors has recognized individuals and teams for their extraordinary and impactful work and contributions. 

Maria is recognized for her exceptional leadership in our move to a new office last summer. The project involved coordinating with several vendors, collaborating with property management and staff, and overseeing the movement of several parts into the new building. Her organizational skills and resourcefulness resulted in a seamless move to the new office. While managing the project, Maria ensured that all responsibilities of her department were still completed. Maria manages a team of 17 warehouse staff who provide daily support to all WIC centers.

We are deeply appreciative of Maria’s leadership and outstanding contributions here at PHFE WIC. Congratulations, Maria!
